Another from the recently bought collection.This appears to be tracks from two CTI albums (Summertime and From The Hot Afternoon). I've managed 20+ years of jazz listening without knowingly listening to any CTI albums. I like this....

Tecnically A&M/CTI, but still, those are two very deceptively great recrds, Imo, with the first one not available on CD at anything resembling a reasonable price,too bad about that.

Don't shy away from Desmond's CTI/CTI albums either, although they are on the whole less "productions" than the A&M ones.

What kind of a release was this anyway, "Mayfair", curious about that.

You know, there is no sign of "Mayfair" anywhere but the front cover. It's a British record - the back cover states A&M, distributed by Pye Records. The labels have A&M, CTI and Creed Taylor's signature printed on them. The liner notes are fairly brief, with no band line-ups mentioned. I do like side 2, the tracks from "From the Hot Afternoon".

Mine isn't this version, it's a British reissue from the 80s. Yet another player I've never previously heard, and probably wouldn't have bought.

Wynton Kelly/----Kelly blue------( Riverside) stereo ,dg,

Better than average original Riverside pressing of really great session. Extreme dual mono with the instruments coming from one chanel only . Even so , not an unpleasant effect.

Nothing to do with 'Mayfair' magazine (I think) :D

It was a budget UK A&M imprint from the early 1970s. I have a Nat Adderley LP put out on this label and also a Wes Montgomery 'California Nights' cassette on the label stored away in my house somewhere. This is what passed for a UK batchelor pad jazz/MOR label back in the day !

Those Nat A&M/CTIs with Joe Zawinul & William Fischer...Calling Out Loud & You, Baby are both fascinating records, especially the former. Just as often as not, only their "veneer" is "commercial", a good number of pretty interesting musical things happen underneath that veneer.

And afaik, neither have been made generally available on CD for a good long while outside of Japan...corrections/directing welcome!
